An organization is planning its cloud infrastructure strategy in Microsoft Azure. The architecture team needs to define how services will be distributed to meet high availability and disaster recovery goals. Which two of the following statements are true about Azure architecture components?
- Azure Availability Zones are unique physical locations within an Azure region, with each zone containing one or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.Answer
- BResources are restricted to being deployed in the same Azure region as the location specified for their parent Resource Group.
- An Azure region pair consists of two regions within the same geography, typically separated by at least 300 miles, to provide disaster recovery protection.Answer
- DAzure Availability Zones span across multiple geographical regions to protect applications from a complete regional disaster.
Answer
The two correct statements are that Azure Availability Zones are unique physical locations with independent infrastructure within an Azure region, and that an Azure region pair consists of two regions within the same geography typically separated by at least 300 miles.
The correct statements are the ones describing Availability Zones as isolated datacenters within a single region with independent infrastructure, and Region Pairs as two geographically separated regions (by at least 300 miles) within the same geography. These definitions correctly reflect Azure's infrastructure redundancy model.
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept
Azure geographic infrastructure elements, specifically the distinct physical boundaries of regions, availability zones, and region pairs, along with logical resource organization limitations.
